Akudama Lyrics
Johnny Appleseed
01. Dishes
Folding back in a lawn chair
with your dramatic mother's friends
Where do we begin?
She never rests
We take a dip in the pool
Face lift, impressed by the lunch shes made you for
school ool ool school ool ool
Picking daisys, sun spitting water
We collect her up in arms with the daughter,
and direct her to walk into the mirror
In this backwards land she'll experience some leisure
doo da doo
Comeback!
We cant do anything for ourselves
Survivals slim. Dishes in the sink
Water flowing over, kitchins goin' under
02. Night Club
See below
03. I Will Be Glad
I will be glad
for a letter in the mail
Cause without you, my darling, my heart is in jail
Wont you please rescue me and drive me wild?
I will be glad
Its been two lonely months
and I can't seem to recall your face
but the funny thing baby, is no one can take your place
The rain falls down,
whenever your in town
Watch it fall on me
04. Love
Love, want your love
Baby, baby need your love
baby our loves dying
I don't know why I love you
Baby our loves dying
I'm stuck in the corner
Trying to find my way out
I'm jumping and freezing
Shattered to the ground
You pick up the pieces,
bring me back to life
I stare in your eyes,
into your pupils of white
Ooooh in the deep dark sea I'm drowning for your love
In the cold dark sea, I'm drowning for your love
Baby, our loves dying
I don't know why I love you
Baby, our loves dying
I still love YOU
05. Out Again
Out again
Going out again. Not so soon
What about your meal?
Don't worry about me, I'll get it on the road
Just one more thing
I'm curious to know what you do and where you go
Thanks for your concern, but I must go
I've got plans, and yes, they're very personal
I will wake you when I'm home
Then its out again
Out again
But not so soon
What about your meal, boy?
Don't worry about me. I'll get it on the road
Just one more thing,
I know what your doing, and where you always go
Imaginary plans have got to go
You're just running out both ends and getting stoned
Let me see your crystal ball
Let me see your crystal ball
You think I need you
You're not an umbrella in a rainstorm
and you think I need you
06. Seabreeze Social
Flowers on my eyes, wake to kiss the night
Loosing all the daylight
Missing all of August on a summer flight
Fresh out of the lake child
Do we really really need to take a walk?
A walk out of the barn to,
huddle up close like loved ones do
As the sky turns into dragons
Its been such a long time
Its been sooooo long
Since the sky turned in to dragons
No more, no more crying, no more city trains
No more vaccuming, I'm away
No more radiation from the pink air light
Going back to my day, child
Nothing left to do, sit and watch the tube
Sour apple my first Christmas
Nothing left to do, sit and watch the tube
Sour apples my first christmas
Its been such a long time
Its been so long
Life's so short when you're dead
I'll be late to the seabreeze social
I'll be late for my seabreeze social
flying over morning
01. Akudama Come Out
So this is what I'm supposed to be
a spirit in the form of a tree
I'll climb up to the top of me
and dream away with you
The clouds explode
You say you never wake up that early
You ought to know that
at dawn you can feel like an angel
So this is what we're supposed to do?
I don't know. See the clouds explode
02. Sunshine In American Backyards
Everyone come outside feel warm and strong
You can stare at the sun, but not for too long
Sunshine in American backyards
Sunshine right in your backyard
Sun lands promptly on your face
03. September
I remember this September
You were there, water side
I was calm, you were kind
We looked in each others eyes
and knew that we should talk a while
The smell of your hair that night
the sparkle in your eyes
makes me feel so bright, blind
Like living in another time.
I love you
I remember this September
01. Akudama Come Out
So this is what I'm supposed to be
a spirit in the form of a tree
I'll climb up to the top of me
and dream away with you
The clouds explode
You say you never wake up that early
You ought to know that
at dawn you can feel like an angel
So this is what we're supposed to do?
I don't know. See the clouds explode
04. Knocking
I lie awake and plan for tomorrow
I'll go into town
and find a disguise to
lose all those men in the crowd of faces I know
Men beside dogs with their noses lower then low
I'll plan for tomorrow
I'll go and find
the best old barbershop
Shave and a haircut are well overdue now yes
I lie awake and plan for tomorrow
Mister how much for the hat and coat?
How much for this gun and boat?
Protect me and sail me away
I hear the hounds barking again
They've caught my scent, how could they?
Assisted with tall well dressed men
They're reaching for their pockets and I think 'let this begin'
I reach for mine. Bang Bang Bang Bang
All shots piercing my skin
I fall into the river. Breathing blood and oxygen
The water fills me up. Breathing blood and oxygen
05. Nightclub
Yeah we can get up alright
Have just one more drink with me
Start another dance party
I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
If you've got the groove inside your shoe
then get on the floor and do what we do
If you've got the groove you better move
Going to my house always on time
They're so on time
06. Beer On The Wall
It don't feel like Christmas around here
I'm alone with my thoughts and bottles of beer
I can't get the feeling if you're not here
I'll just bet on nothing for next year
'I'm not yelling'
I can't stand you
We have not been in the same room in forever
07. The 5 AM Wave
Dive in to the deep end
Grab on to my leg if you start to drag
Meet me under water
Try and guess the tune that I sing to you
Reach the surface. Yeah
Reach the surface. Let us swim
Gotta hit the sack now
Gotta wake up late, catch the 5am wave
Come on people ride together
08. Interlude
09. Go Home
We sit inside your car
We say the same things five-hundred times
You ought to go home
Home home home
And you kill me with your words,
but I can take it pretty baby
10. Never Again
Again. You say 'never again'
But what's to stop you
You'll do it again
Your hands are hot and red
You say never again
Your hands are hot and red
and you're slamming doors on faces
You're slamming doors on me
Your gonna catch your death and it's like a fucking race
You slam the door, you slam the door on me
Catch your death it's like a fucking race man
11. No Moon Out
There's no moon out tonight
Oh wait there it goes
A bit cold on the porch
I sit in silence alone
Cause none of my friends want to be here
and think about things that I want to talk about
Can't say I blame them I'm getting kind of tired
I think I'm gonna go inside and lay down
Drift away to a brand new day
I'll go that way you go this way
Were gonna meet just where we end up
Meet in the future say 'what a small world'
Life's so sweet, can I fill your cup?
Oh no you don't
Ask me where I've been
Ask me how I've been
No you don't ask me what I'm doing
12. Crescent Moon Drops
Fade
I'm too tired to play your game
Fade away
I'm too tired to play this game
You fade away
Moving up and down
Longing outside towns
But I stay where my future leads me
I'm well awake and up to date
I speak for friends, I have no powers over them
For I too am rusting away
And she said...
We go up and down
13. Cool Kids Stay Out Past 10pm
Cool kids stay out late
Good kids get the grades
She's not one of us
Who are we to say that?
I guess we'll never know
You'd be surprised just how far I'd go to know
And I can't move and I can't see
My eyes roll back into my head
And I remember dreaming
In my dreams no one cares
They never want to go home
And in these dreams they all stare
Because I am beautiful alone
How much should I pay
To make you look this way?
Can't stop, won't stop running
If I stop now I won't get my girl
Don't stop, don't stop running
If you stop now you won't get the girl
13. Cool Kids Stay Out Past 10pm
